WoW Stable at 10.2 Million Subscribers
Activision Blizzard's press release states that World of Warcraft is still at 10.2 million subscribers as of 3/31/12. This is the same amount of subscribers from Q4 2011. A few other interesting points:

Battle.Net has 10 million users.

1.2 million people bought the Annual Pass.

2 million people played the Diablo 3 open beta.

Pre-orders for Diablo 3 have set a new record for Blizzard. This number includes units pre-ordered as part of the Annual Pass promotion, as well as retail and digital pre-orders.

Blizzard renewed their license with NetEase for the distribution of World of Warcraft in mainland China, and it will continue for an additional three years following the expiration of the current license agreement.

We have a Hater Sighting! Bravo my good man! Hold the Tiller straight even when facing the incoming 15 mil subs of MOP!

Hater? Far from it I actually find WoW very enjoyable and really looking forward to MoP... but seeing that MoP might take another 5 months to release, don't you think that the subs will fall dramatically?Another 5 months of this particular content, really?Just being realistic here, assuming that MoP *WILL* Take that long.

o.O, 15 mil subs? Isn't that perhaps being a BIT too optimistic? . A lot of people are busy hating on the WoW Pandas, but hailing the TERA pandas/fox girls in skimpy outfits and rainbow worlds as the second coming.

Meh, dramatically different from what I predicted, though I'm really not sure how its managed to stabilise, played Blizz.

I personally want the subscriber base to fall, not through some hatred of the game, but to diversify the market more. It's a fair assumption that people who leave the game would be likely to latch on to other MMO's for the most part, I personally just want to see the Monopoly in the industry taken down a level to promote more innovation.

Just being honest man, wow was always a great game up until CATA, sure it lost 2 million subs but it just shows that people want things handed on a plate as 4.3 stabilised subs. I doubt anyone with a IQ higher then 110 can still be enjoying this game.

Yeah, because spending countless hours in videogame "working" for a reward is truly a hallmark of an intellectual.

when things don't go your way, call everyone who doesn't agree with you of average or below average intellect.

come on just unleash the hate and call us all retards for playing WoW why beat around the bush?

Why ppl even care about those numbers? Even wow haters gonna play MoP for sure, so i expect like 1 - 1.5 mil subs more in MoP for sure. Like everyone know many ppl left cata cuz they dont like it, but they will come back like everybody does.

Same thing was said for both BC and Wrath when they came out.

How about you stop bashing people for enjoying a game you don't like, and go have some fun. You are wasting your time being derogatory towards other people online.

If WoW is failing at 10 million then every single other MMO of all time hasn't even lived in the first place.

And that's just moronic on your part. Seriously, go hide in a ditch or something and let us enjoy games. It's subjective and perhaps I can say that nobody with an IQ over 110 can DISLIKE this game and have that be just as true?

You're so bitter, bitter BITTER. Get something worthy to spend time on instead of hating on a game that you don't have to play!

I love how people ASSUME that just because there are still so many active subs that it has anything to do with DS. I haven't done DS at all and I can't find enough spare time between work, social life and everything else to get the stuff I want done before MoP launches.

More ppl don't raid or even do instances than the players that do. Get over yourselves.
